Over the 13-day appeal, customer donations amounted to nearly £1.5 million, with Tesco matching contributions to bring the total charity donation to £3 million. All funds will be split equally between its partners [British Heart Foundation](https://www.bhf.org.uk/), [Cancer Research UK](https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/) and [Diabetes UK](https://www.diabetes.org.uk/), which have all been impacted by the Covid crisis. ## Advertisement Oonagh Turnbull, Head of Health Campaigns at Tesco, said: > “We are really delighted that our customers have been so generous in supporting > these three very deserving charities. This has been an incredibly tough year for > many so far and hopefully this donation of £3 million will help those directly > affected by cancer, heart and circulatory diseases or diabetes.” Commenting on the total raised, Amanda Bringans, Director of Fundraising for the British Heart Foundation, added: > “We have been amazed by the incredible generosity of Tesco customers. The Covid- > 19 pandemic means we face an agonising drop in our income, meaning every penny > donated will be vital to us continuing to fund life saving research into new ways > of preventing, diagnosing and treating heart and circulatory diseases. Thank you > to each and every person who donated.” * **[Work for Good to double donations in #SmallBusinessStar Christmas campaign](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/10/20/work-for-good-to-double-donations-in-smallbusinessstar-christmas-campaign/)**( 20 October 2020) * **[Charities invited to apply for new round of UK Aid Match](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/11/04/charities-invited-to-apply-for-new-round-of-uk-aid-match/)**( 4 November 2020) * **[Christmas Double Matched Day sees 10 local charities raise over £155K in 24 hours](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/12/21/christmas-double-matched-day-sees-10-local-charities-raise-over-155k-in-24-hours/)**( 21 December 2020) ![Loading](https://fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/page-views-count/ajax-loader- 2x.gif)
